Written Question
Government Departments: Public Consultation
Tuesday 17th September 2024

Asked by: John Glen (Conservative - Salisbury)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 30 July 2024 to Question 907 on Government Departments: Public Consultation, whether his Department has issued guidance on whether (a) communications should be sent to participants in consultations initiated under the previous Government on the conclusions of that consultation and (b) consultation webpages should be updated to advise the public of the (i) status and (ii) conclusions of those consultations.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office

The Cabinet Office advises departments who contact us that a new administration may respond to a consultation that was initiated under a previous administration if they choose to do so. Departments are legally responsible for the consultations that they run and they can determine how best to communicate on consultations that were initiated by ministers of a previous administration.

Written Question
National Grid: Public Consultation
Tuesday 30th July 2024

Asked by: Ben Goldsborough (Labour - South Norfolk)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if he will (a) make an assessment of the adequacy of the regulatory framework for ensuring public consultation on energy transmission projects and (b) take steps to ensure that statutory consultations on such projects include consultation on construction options.

Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

For England and Wales, the Planning Act 2008 sets out the consultation requirements that developers of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs), including electricity transmission projects, are required to follow. In April 2024, new guidance was published for NSIPs which sets out the consultation milestone that requires developers to demonstrate that they have consulted adequately with communities. The developer’s statutory consultation needs to show compliance with the energy National Policy Statements, including in relation to construction. In Scotland, the Scottish Government’s good practice guidance sets out the expectations and requirements for consultation.
